Simple Simon went down to his local DSS
They said "do you want money?" he answered them "yes"
They said "you'll get no money so just you go away"
"Do you think that we are paying you to work or just to play"
"You've got to prove you're looking for employment" they said
"You don't just think we're paying you for staying home in bed
"Four million unemployed in this country alone
So Simple Simon get a job, or just go home"
Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair
Said simple Simon to the pieman "let me taste your wares"
Said the pieman to Simon "let me see your penny"
Said Simon to the pieman "no, indeed i have not any"

Whispers In The Wind
04:13
|

Words issue from my mouth
And make me think about
The things that i can't say today
Tea with milk and sugar please
Serve it up with cheese
And eat it with a piece of toast
What's the name you always notice?
Standing in the wind and singing
Where's the thing you once were proud of?
I can hear the distance ringing true
Think about what you have done
Avoiding all the Sun
And standing in the rain with me
What's the thing that you fear most?
Is it still the ghost
Of things that never quite were true?
What's the name you always notice?
Standing in the wind and singing
Where's the thing you once were proud of?
I can hear the distance ringing true
Whispers in the wind
Long, drawn out
Sing or shout
Think of who
Who are you?
What's the name you always notice?
Standing in the wind and singing
Where's the thing you once were proud of?
I can hear the distance ringing true
Whispers in the wind

Freeloader

I used to be a genius but now i'm cured
thought i was alive but i was just fooled
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
And maybe it will rain today, it's anybody's guess
I think i'll run away and die just like the rest, but
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near
I know i should have really tried to cry upon your shoulder
But as the time passed by i just seemed to get older
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
If things are different now, you know i'm truly sorry
I tried too hard and things fell down around me
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near
Now we know just what we know, it isn't very much
I'm not sure what i can do to try and stop the rust
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near

Computer
03:18

Look into my eyes and i'll show you something
Don't take away my flies and don't jump on a spring
I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore
Eat more tobacco and never go out to play
Watch your own hand grow and throw yourself away
I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore
Sing a sad song and give yourself a plan
Find a shoe where you belong and telephone a man
I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore

Boo Hoo
02:19
|

|
I'm just so funny, and i get laughed at
I don't get no money, 'cos i'm just not fast
Enough for the public, and i feel so unattractive
They say i'm sick, but i deserve to live
And i love myself but i don't know what to do about my great big nose
And i love myself better than you
And i love myself but i don't know what to do about my great big nose
And i love myself better than you
None of them like me, they don't think i'm cool
they're scared i'm too free, would love to kill me as a rule
Nobody loves me ah ah ah, everybody hates me, ah ah
Think i'll go and eat eat worms
And i love myself but i don't know what to do about my great big nose
And i love myself better than you
And i love myself but i don't know what to do
And i love myself better than you
Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo!

Bug You
02:34
|
|||
|
Walking down the main street of somebody else's life
Filling in the space in somebody else's wife
Don't it really bug you when i get under your skin?
But the more that you get riled, the more i will begin
To bug you (to such a degree)
To such a degree (to such a degree that you kill me)
Giving out the shit that nobody else deserves
Killing all the love that somebody's life preserves
I'm a first degree bastard and i couldn't give a damn
you can take my middle finger, and you know where you can cram it
To bug you (to such a degree)
To such a degree (to such a degree that you kill me)

I Could Be A Fly
03:46
|
|||
|
Out of ordinary, wondering where
Away with the fairies, avoid the Sun's glare
You think i am Domini, spotted mink and i could be a fly
Don't you tell them my way results in Hell and debts to pay
You think i am Domini, spotted mink and i could be a fly
I could be a fly
Yo podria ser una mosca

The Politician
02:34
|

|
Sitting at a friend's and just whiling away the hours
Until we can do something about the rich men in their towers
They'll never understand the problems that we own
Unless that is we can kill them all
Destroy their happy homes
Destroy their selfish home, yeah!
See them looking down on us the way that they do
Laughing at the predicaments of the likes of me and of you
They'll never understand the problems that we own
Unless that is we can kill them all
Destroy their happy homes
Destroy their selfish homes, yeah!
But of course not all of them act the way i say
But for those of them that do, let's bring them down today
They'll never understand the problems that we own
Unless that is we can kill them all
Destroy their happy homes
Destroy those selfish homes, yeah!

Waiting For The Summer
03:52

Freezing cold but there's Sun
I want fun in the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
Lying there on the beach
In the reach of the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
I like to feel safe in the happiness
I like to feel warm in the Sun
I dream about going on holiday
When the summer has only just begun
Freezing cold but there's Sun
I want fun in the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
Lying there on the beach
In the reach of the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
I like to listen to the birds sing
I like to watch the passing clouds
I like to look at the trees with their leaves on
And know that the winter has gone
I want fun in the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
Lying there on the beach
In the reach of the Sun
Waiting for the summer to arrive for me
